Forestry workshop put on by the U.C. 439 00:38:45,32 --> 00:38:49,66 Cooperative extension at the ag center. And this is 440 00:38:49,67 --> 00:38:53,96 a really really good event very technical data rich discussion of 441 00:38:53,97 --> 00:39:00,06 a lot of different. Issues regarding forestry discussions about carbon credits 442 00:39:00,94 --> 00:39:07,81 really interesting piece on. Conversion from. Single age management 443 00:39:07,95 --> 00:39:14,33 to. Multi multiple age men missing the term. 444 00:39:17,36 --> 00:39:23,15 Anyway and the data to select Well selective but also there's another term I just 445 00:39:24,03 --> 00:39:30,15 you know totally Yes Just out of my brain at the moment. But just the data that was 446 00:39:30,46 --> 00:39:35,04 behind it and how that would drive management and I've been to 447 00:39:35,05 --> 00:39:41,99 a lot of forestry workshops over the years and. There are some folks in that 448 00:39:42,00 --> 00:39:44,02 room that I haven't seen in quite 449 00:39:44,03 --> 00:39:48,79 a few years at various functions like this but one of the things that was really 450 00:39:48,80 --> 00:39:55,40 neat was seeing how many landowners and you know smaller private landowners and you 451 00:39:55,41 --> 00:40:01,13 know dirt foresters boots on the ground kind of guys that were there it was. 452 00:40:02,17 --> 00:40:08,98 Very. Again very very technical but folks that were 453 00:40:08,99 --> 00:40:15,61 very interested in learning the you know cutting edge of forest management. So that 454 00:40:15,62 --> 00:40:15,74 was 455 00:40:15,75 --> 00:40:20,34 a good workshop Thursday had an opportunity to meet with Bill panels the new city 456 00:40:20,35 --> 00:40:26,54 manager for Eureka had a great discussion with him. And then we also had 457 00:40:26,55 --> 00:40:30,30 a meeting of the with supervisor Bohn we had 458 00:40:30,31 --> 00:40:37,04 a meeting of the Indian gaming. Committee. The big news though was on 459 00:40:37,05 --> 00:40:43,39 Saturday which was the sixteenth annual arcade eye ball and this as I mentioned 460 00:40:43,54 --> 00:40:44,32 last week was 461 00:40:44,33 --> 00:40:50,63 a fundraiser for the arcade Ridge trail trying to close to the last gap that we had 462 00:40:50,64 --> 00:40:56,83 to raise to purchase the last link in this trail and happy to report that we were 463 00:40:56,84 --> 00:41:01,30 able to make our target and raise the amount needed and 464 00:41:01,31 --> 00:41:06,77 a little bit more to their old still be always be more fund raising necessary for 465 00:41:07,18 --> 00:41:12,69 trail building for materials coverts signage benches all these kinds of 466 00:41:13,12 --> 00:41:16,83 improvements that will need to go into it but the money that's necessary to 467 00:41:16,84 --> 00:41:23,20 purchase this last link is now in hand. And I was thinking about it since 468 00:41:23,61 --> 00:41:28,56 Saturday that this whole thing started back on February twenty eighth two thousand 469 00:41:28,57 --> 00:41:31,99 and I remember when we got the letter about what was then 470 00:41:32,00 --> 00:41:36,73 a proposed timber harvest on this property and that turned into this year's years 471 00:41:36,74 --> 00:41:42,37 long process and thirteen years later we acquired not just that property we helped 472 00:41:42,38 --> 00:41:46,30 raise somewhere around two hundred thousand dollars from the community for one 473 00:41:46,31 --> 00:41:53,02 purchase after another six different acquisitions. And which leveraged somewhere 474 00:41:53,03 --> 00:41:57,49 around four million dollars of state and federal funding to make this all happen. 475 00:41:59,31 --> 00:42:04,39 Hundreds and hundreds of donors and volunteers that helped out along the way to get 476 00:42:04,40 --> 00:42:11,16 to this point but just to finally have that last piece. Done at least cash in 477 00:42:11,17 --> 00:42:13,36 hand for it is really just 478 00:42:13,78 --> 00:42:19,93 a great feeling it's almost impossible to imagine thirteen years ago that we could 479 00:42:19,94 --> 00:42:26,34 actually make this thing happen but but we did and. Should give us hope for the 480 00:42:26,35 --> 00:42:31,49 general plan as that. Supervised bone. 481 00:42:36,04 --> 00:42:42,67 Did I had to well see last Wednesday I had an area one agency of my first area I 482 00:42:42,68 --> 00:42:48,72 want to Agency on Aging meeting on the Advisory Council Thursday again like Mark 483 00:42:49,49 --> 00:42:53,77 said in the gaming commission that afternoon met with Mark and Wendy Rowan on the 484 00:42:53,78 --> 00:42:59,64 first five home well first five Friday yes we had the plunge auction we had. 485 00:43:01,31 --> 00:43:04,11 I actually had did an interview with Chinese T.V. 486 00:43:04,11 --> 00:43:11,08 .

Anyway. That's it. 493 00:43:42,11 --> 00:43:47,42 And I. Got chores done on Sunday and had a bunch of other stuff but it was 494 00:43:47,43 --> 00:43:49,08 a. Actually 495 00:43:49,09 --> 00:43:54,03 a pretty good wake you're right not too many to see too much tough stuff I actually 496 00:43:54,39 --> 00:43:57,95 Friday actually did go down with Hank salmon to look at some flooding issues down 497 00:43:57,96 --> 00:44:02,64 on the Williams Creek Amber Xeni frog alley and then we went to lone lead and 498 00:44:02,65 --> 00:44:07,04 looked at some drainage issues with Hank salmon and Tom Mattson it's looks like 499 00:44:07,05 --> 00:44:13,11 we've got some issues. That we are addressing head on down in those areas so 500 00:44:13,12 --> 00:44:16,49 hopefully with the help of public works we can get some answers forms of THANK YOU 501 00:44:17,28 --> 00:44:22,07 supervisor final. Well we'll have to encourage you to sing 502 00:44:22,08 --> 00:44:27,95 a little bit more that's kind of nice. So let's see starting with Wednesday the 503 00:44:27,96 --> 00:44:33,83 sixth I went to the Laugh go orientation which was right here and that was very 504 00:44:33,84 --> 00:44:37,36 very informative and supervisor bass was there for 505 00:44:37,37 --> 00:44:43,15 a little while off and on and it was great discussion and great preparation for my 506 00:44:43,16 --> 00:44:48,39 first Lefkow meeting on Wednesday the twentieth the same day I did 507 00:44:48,40 --> 00:44:54,13 a tour of the Elk River Watershed with some local people there Kristi Wrigley Jesse 508 00:44:54,14 --> 00:45:00,70 you know well his wife I don't know why the Regional Water Board 509 00:45:01,16 --> 00:45:07,16 and I were looking at some flooding issues in that area.

So if I 559 00:49:17,96 --> 00:49:23,71 suppress whatever. Sorry Mr I just I wanted to mention when I talked about the map 560 00:49:23,72 --> 00:49:27,87 of the movies I don't think I mentioned that our very own Shankland is working on 561 00:49:27,88 --> 00:49:29,51 that as well and she is she's been 562 00:49:29,52 --> 00:49:34,07 a lot of did I didn't know if I said her name but she just put in so much work and 563 00:49:34,89 --> 00:49:38,06 in along with Cassandra making it happen I was just saying I wanted to make sure 564 00:49:38,07 --> 00:49:41,24 that I did include her name thank you. 565 00:49:51,00 --> 00:49:56,81 So I was out Trinidad earlier in the week for dealing with some animal control 566 00:49:56,82 --> 00:50:03,61 issues. County and the tribes do not have any agreements for animals and. 567 00:50:05,78 --> 00:50:12,66 Some confusion how that happens so I stepped in and 568 00:50:12,67 --> 00:50:19,45 it was. One of the first times where I've used my experience in travel say that 569 00:50:20,24 --> 00:50:26,91 to explain the county side. Sometimes it's difficult to understand 570 00:50:26,92 --> 00:50:31,04 why the county doesn't do certain things or why the tribes and do certain things 571 00:50:31,05 --> 00:50:35,70 but when you talk about or you've been on both sides you can understand there's 572 00:50:35,71 --> 00:50:39,83 a lot of other issues it's not just because one side doesn't want to do something 573 00:50:39,84 --> 00:50:46,02 it's because. You can't sometimes. Figured a lot of that out they had 574 00:50:46,03 --> 00:50:52,49 a. Conference with Red Deer consulting they are the new 575 00:50:52,50 --> 00:50:59,32 consulting firm. Through the North Coast integrated regional water management plan 576 00:50:59,41 --> 00:51:05,73 and they got hired on to do. Tribal representation and trying to get more 577 00:51:05,74 --> 00:51:11,86 participation from tribes into the technical committee and also help 578 00:51:12,28 --> 00:51:19,12 tribes with submitting applications and and getting them funded through the fifty 579 00:51:19,13 --> 00:51:25,95 and all that. So they just came on their working under twenty five thousand dollars 580 00:51:25,96 --> 00:51:32,37 gram right now and it's and then they're going to ramp up. To 581 00:51:32,90 --> 00:51:38,99 the larger granite camera which Durham how much that total ground was going to. I 582 00:51:39,03 --> 00:51:42,62 did talk shop last week met with 583 00:51:43,40 --> 00:51:50,05 a nurse and Craig Compton to go over their plans some conservation 584 00:51:50,06 --> 00:51:54,97 easements. One of them is going to there actually and come do 585 00:51:54,98 --> 00:52:01,54 a presentation next Tuesday one thirty have belief and they are going to talk about 586 00:52:02,02 --> 00:52:07,55 one of them that's up by Redwood creek over by Oric that's connected to the 587 00:52:07,56 --> 00:52:14,06 national park up there and they are. The 588 00:52:14,10 --> 00:52:18,14 conservation easement that they're talking about it there would they would still be 589 00:52:18,15 --> 00:52:24,29 a log it just wouldn't have any development rights and then there's another one and 590 00:52:24,30 --> 00:52:31,00 I'm sure you're aware of strawberry rock and where there are or people 591 00:52:31,01 --> 00:52:31,50 walk up 592 00:52:31,51 --> 00:52:36,13 a trail and then they go to Strawberry rock they have one of their logging units 593 00:52:36,34 --> 00:52:41,32 that they are talking about protecting and then the trailer goes all the way up to 594 00:52:41,33 --> 00:52:46,56 the rock and then around the rock. So that was. Good news it's. 595 00:52:49,73 --> 00:52:55,61 It was just the just the track the logging track that they had was twenty seven 596 00:52:55,62 --> 00:52:59,10 acres and I think they think it's going to be right around fifty acres for the 597 00:52:59,11 --> 00:53:05,80 whole thing yeah. So we can ask those questions next Tuesday when when they come 598 00:53:05,81 --> 00:53:12,67 and do their presentation. And then.
